Without doing any digging (I'm 100mi away from my Gentoo boxes and |
| 26 |
sitting on satellite internet, so SSH is painful), I would presume the |
| 27 |
packages pulling in those dependencies aren't specifying a maximum |
| 28 |
version, so it's not that they're "requiring" gnome 3 packages, |
| 29 |
they're requiring gnome packages and are choosing to use the newest, |
| 30 |
which happens to be part of 3, meaning the gnome 2 ebuilds would need |
| 31 |
updated to require version < 3.0 to avoid it automatically, and |
| 32 |
possibly block on mixing 2 and 3 if the mixing really does give |
| 33 |
issues. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
In /etc/portage/package.mask (untested, for the aforementioned reasons), add: |
| 36 |
>=gnome-base/nautilus-3 |
| 37 |
>=app-text/evince-3 |
| 38 |
